I posted previously regarding changing my dilemma whether or not to change DD's name (5wks old) as she doesn't suit the name Charlotte.
We are now considering changing her 2nd name to Eve and calling her that, giving her the option to use Charlotte when she's older.
I would love to use Eve as a first name, but DP's surname is quite short (a long vowel sound) and although it doesn't sound ridiculous, it doesn't sound perfect!
So if we call her Charlotte Eve, but want her to be known as Eve, how does that work with registering her at the doctors, nursery, school etc? Do we just drop the Charlotte completely? If so, I can't help thinking we might as well just use Eve as her first name!
The other option is Evelyn as a first name, with Charlotte as a middle name, but I would only be giving her the extended name to make it scan better with the surname, which seems a bit daft
Your opinions please ladies and gentlemen - we have to register her name on Tuesday and I want to be settled!
